Bygone Shows

The Devil Music Ensemble performs live soundtracks to silent films.  Here, they accompany a screening of RED HEROINE, the 1929 Chinese Kung Fu film, virtually unknown in the US, with an original soundtrack!   

You can buy advance tickets for $13 from the Lane Series or at the Flynn box office.

They are $15 at the door.

The movie begins at 8pm, so get there a couple minutes early, grab a drink from the Skinny Pancake cash bar, and settle in to your seats for a wonderful evening!

Devil Music was founded in 1999 by Brendon Wood to explore the many facets of music (Rock, Electronic, Orchestral, Folk, Improvisation, Incidental, etc.) The name Devil Music was taken from the Fourth Image of George Crumb's "Black Angel's: Thirteen Images from the Dark Land". The group itself was ever-changing, as new members came and went, adding a variety to the sounds, and the style. Starting in 2002, Devil Music settled into the core group of Wood, Rapino (from the acclaimed New Millennium String Ensemble), and Nylander (former member of Say Zuzu). Since then Devil Music has strived to present new, original, diverse works with performances in Boston, the rest of the U.S., and now the world. Devil Music recently finished their second European tour, doing live soundtrack performances to "Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde" in six countries in Western and Eastern Europe. The attempt to pigeon hole Devil Music's sound has been frustrating audiences and critics since its incarnation 9 years ago, and will continue as such as long as the love of experimentation stays with the group.

They have performed to thrilling effect at the Kennedy Center, Chicago Cultural Center, Dallas Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and more. On the Lane Series, they’ll perform their latest project — a live music performance with an amazing and virtually unknown classic silent Chinese Kung Fu film called Red Heroine (directed by Wen Yimin, 1929). The performance consists of a projection of this amazing film accompanied by a new original soundtrack performed live by the DME.
